Management Information Systems Minor

Location(s): Manhattan Campus


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Degrees and Certificates Offered

The management information systems (MIS) minor is targeted toward non-business and non-management business majors. Students need the technical and conceptual skills to help organizations solve problems using technological and digital solutions. The role of the information systems professional requires knowledge of systems applications and data management tools, as well as a broad understanding of how such systems and technology can be applied to business processes. The certificate is open to all majors within the university.

The minor is flexible by design. Non-business students will take an introductory business, plus four courses drawn from a list of options, allowing students to develop an emphasis in MIS. Non-MIS business students take three required courses in MIS. The other three elective courses come from a mix of MIS and supporting electives.

The minor consists of 15 credit hours.  MIS majors are not allowed to complete the MIS minor.

At least three of the five courses must be completed at Kansas State University. Prior permission is required from the College of Business Administration to take a class at another institution. Prerequisites and requisites associated with the management courses must be followed. The minor will be awarded upon or after being awarded a baccalaureate degree and students must earn a minimum 2.50 KSU cumulative GPA across all five courses to graduate with the minor.
